Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
 
The acquisitions of the securities reported on this statement were made in the ordinary course of the Reporting Persons’ investment activities. The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity.
 
On December 21, 2015, a representative of the K2 Reporting Persons, on behalf of the Group (as defined below), sent a letter to Daniel Jarvis, the Lead Director of the Issuer (the “Letter”), setting forth the Group’s belief that the Share price has suffered excessively and unnecessarily as a result of the Issuer’s misguided policies and missed opportunities and expressing the Group’s desire to work with the independent members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to maximize shareholder value.  The description of the Letter in this Schedule 13D is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter, a copy of which is filed with this Schedule 13D as Exhibit C and incorporated by reference herein.  The Reporting Persons intend to meet with members of the Board and other shareholders to discuss, among other things, the Issuer’s corporate governance; overall business strategy; business performance; capital allocation priorities; project priorities; cost containment; diamond marketing; compensation policies and practices; corporate disclosure practices; and shareholder engagement.  As part of such activities, the Reporting Persons may formulate plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or its securities, and may take positions or make proposals with respect to, among other things, the Issuer’s capital structure, corporate structure, operations, management, Board composition, strategy and future plans, including advocating for a sales process or a take-private transaction, including a take-private transaction in which the Reporting Persons could participate as a means of enhancing shareholder value. The Reporting Persons may also change their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.

On December 21, 2015, certain of the Reporting Persons entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) thereby forming a group under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which consists of the Reporting Persons (the “Group”). Pursuant to the rules of the SEC promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Group was deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership, for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Exchange Act, of all equity securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by each member of the Group.  The total number of Shares beneficially owned by the Group as of the date hereof is 4,618,095, or 5.4% of the 85,290,979 Shares outstanding as at November 30, 2015, as publicly reported by the Issuer on December 11, 2015.

Exhibit C
Letter to Daniel Jarvis, Lead Director of the Issuer
 
K2 & Associates Investment Management Inc.
2 Bloor Street West, Suite 801
Toronto, ON M4W 3E2

 
December 21, 2015
BY EMAIL
Daniel Jarvis
Lead Director
Dominion Diamond Corporation
#1102 - 4920 52nd Street
Yellowknife, Northwest Territories X1A 3T1

Dear Mr. Jarvis:
K2 & Associates Investment Management Inc. manages one of Canada’s top performing Hedge Funds with a history of superior annualized returns.  This letter is addressed to you as Lead Director of Dominion Diamond Corporation (the “Company”), as the Chairman of the Company is not independent.
I am writing to you on behalf of a group of investors (the “Group”) who currently collectively own 5.4% of the outstanding common shares of the Company, making the Group, taken as whole, one of the Company’s largest shareholders.  As a result of U.S. regulatory requirements, we will today file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Schedule 13D disclosing the holdings of the Group.  SEC rules also require that this letter be filed as an exhibit to the Schedule 13D.  Consequently, this letter will become public.
The Group consists of institutional and individual investors, each of whom has significant experience investing in the mining industry and has deep public market expertise.  We have each made an investment in the Company because we believe that the Company’s common shares are significantly undervalued by the public markets.  We are cognizant of how market conditions have created headwinds for the industry generally.  But, the Group believes that the Company’s share price has suffered excessively and unnecessarily as a result of misguided policies and missed opportunities, including with respect to:
corporate governance;
overall business strategy;
business performance;
capital allocation priorities;
project priorities;
cost containment;
diamond marketing;
compensation policies and practices;
 
C-1

 
corporate disclosure practices; and
shareholder engagement.

To date, the Company has failed to articulate a clear plan of action to remedy these issues.  We are writing because we wish to engage in a constructive dialogue with you, as Lead Director, and with the independent members of the Board of Directors, as a whole, regarding opportunities to maximize shareholder value.
We believe there are a number of ways for the Company to generate shareholder value and that the independent members of the Board of Directors must immediately undertake a strategic review to determine the most effective means to create such value.  But, time is of the essence.  There is an immediate opportunity for us to work together to create value for all of the Company’s shareholders. Inaction will only result in the continued erosion of shareholder value.
We wish to meet with you to address these pressing issues.  To that end, I ask that you please contact Kyle McLean, a member of the Group, as soon as possible at 1-604-697-7100 to arrange a meeting with Mr. McLean in Vancouver (or another location if you prefer) before the New Year.
We look forward to a collaborative dialogue with you and the independent directors.  We hope that the independent members of the Board of Directors embrace this opportunity to move in a positive direction and work together with us to deliver positive results for all shareholders.
We thank you and the independent members of the Board of Directors for your consideration.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Josef Vejvoda

WHEREAS:
A. each of Evans, K2, McLean, Pacific World, ECP and Tognetti (each, a “Shareholder” and together, the “Shareholders”), or one of its or his affiliates as the case may be, is the registered owner and/or “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (as defined below)) of that number of issued and outstanding common shares (“Subject Shares”) in the capital of Dominion Diamond Corporation (the “Company”), a corporation existing under the federal laws of Canada, set forth on the form of Schedule 13D attached to this Agreement; and
B. subject to Section 1.2, below, the Shareholders wish to confirm their agreement to coordinate certain of their efforts with respect to (i) the purchase and sale of Subject Shares and/or options or other derivative securities that constitute or may by their terms

NOW THEREFORE this Agreement witnesses that, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
COORDINATED ACTIVITIES
Section 1.1 Coordinated Activities
The following matters shall require the mutual agreement of the Shareholders:
(a) the making, revising or withdrawing of any proposals to the Company regarding the conduct of its business, corporate governance matters, corporate transactions or otherwise;
(b) the admission or withdrawal of any additional members of the group being formed hereby;
(c) whether to run a proxy contest involving the Company and the selection and nomination of individuals to serve as directors of the Company for such proxy contest; and
(d) the conduct of any litigation or investigation to the extent the same relates to the group conduct of the Shareholders, provided that in the case of this clause (d), the conduct of any litigation or investigation that would not materially affect one of the Shareholders shall not require the agreement of such Shareholder, to the extent decisions regarding such conduct do not adversely affect the interests of such Shareholder.
If the Shareholders have agreed on a matter set forth in clauses (a) through (c) above, Evans shall assume decision-making authority with respect to the execution of such matter.  In connection with any action taken pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Evans shall give the other Shareholders reasonable advance notice and a reasonable period of consultation, it being understood that the particular circumstances may require prompt action.  The Shareholders will jointly cooperate in the defence of any third party litigation or regulatory investigation with respect to the activities engaged in by them pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 1.2 Affiliates
To the extent that an affiliate of a Shareholder is the registered holder or beneficial owner of Subject Shares or Securities, all such Subject Shares and Securities shall be considered to be held or beneficially owned by the Shareholder for the purposes of this Agreement, provided that all Subject Shares beneficially owned by any affiliate of ECP shall not be considered to be held or beneficially owned by ECP for the purposes of this Agreement and all affiliates of ECP shall be disregarded for all purposes under this Agreement notwithstanding that they may be required to be disclosed on a Schedule 13D or any other required regulatory filing.
D-2
